  <description><![CDATA[Ever since he was fifteen, John King has been on the run from the ghosts of his past. Drifting from place to place, John never settles down in one place or with one woman. <br/>That is, until he rolls into Denver, Colorado, grooving to Marvin Gaye's &quot;Let's Get It On&quot; and meets Connie Rogers. Having grown up on the mean streets, Connie has pain and battle scars of her own. Yet, it is her beautiful and lonely face that inspires John to think, &quot;If indeed there was a home for the perfect kiss, it would be on her lips.&quot; <br/>Though he's reluctant to admit it, John soon realizes that Connie is the only woman who just may understand his very soul. Now, they both must face their pasts if they ever hope to build a future together.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[Ever since he was fifteen, John King has been on the run from the ghosts of his past. Drifting from place to place, John never settles down in one place or with one woman. <br/>That is, until he rolls into Denver, Colorado, grooving to Marvin Gaye's &quot;Let's Get It On&quot; and meets Connie Rogers. Having grown up on the mean streets, Connie has pain and battle scars of her own. Yet, it is her beautiful and lonely face that inspires John to think, &quot;If indeed there was a home for the perfect kiss, it would be on her lips.&quot; <br/>Though he's reluctant to admit it, John soon realizes that Connie is the only woman who just may understand his very soul. Now, they both must face their pasts if they ever hope to build a future together.]]>

    <![CDATA[Ever since he was fifteen, John King has been on the run from the ghosts of his past. Drifting from place to place, John never settles down in one place or with one woman. <br/>That is, until he rolls into Denver, Colorado, grooving to Marvin Gaye's &quot;Let's Get It On&quot; and meets Connie Rogers. Having grown up on the mean streets, Connie has pain and battle scars of her own. Yet, it is her beautiful and lonely face that inspires John to think, &quot;If indeed there was a home for the perfect kiss, it would be on her lips.&quot; <br/>Though he's reluctant to admit it, John soon realizes that Connie is the only woman who just may understand his very soul. Now, they both must face their pasts if they ever hope to build a future together.]]>
